Thanks for the info Tonedog. Yes I can only listen to them not having owned a LGD. Bullarabs seemed to be pretty good at it. Jethro my first one when he first did it I thought what's he drowning that little pig in the creek for. Get closer and see its a feral dog who's back he broke. He was just moving his head from side to side like he was trying to wash it. He took off one day after a pack of them. I heard their barking and howling and carrying on. He comes back soaking wet with the top of his head covered in blood. No more barking from them. I washed the blood off to see if he was cut. Not a mark on him.

A fellow I knew at Malanda had some pretty crazy Bullarabs. He caught his big male one day drowning the neighbours Old English Mastiff. They are really good at it.

The feral dogs at Topaz used to kill the dairy cattle. They would chew their udders out. The farmer who owned the cattle appreciated my dogs being around. Two of my dogs(bullarabs) got out one night. I heard them barking and thought their just onto a pig down in the rainforest. Let them have some fun because it was dry then and not many pigs were around. Next day the same farmer comes around saying my dogs had killed one of his cows. He said he knew because the ears had been chewed off. I think he was right.

I still want to get a Bandog from Powerhause kennels. I really like the idea of having a canine protector that won't run away. There's some rough country around the Sara river that I'd like to check out for gold, sapphires and topaz. Graham from Powerhause said the next litter won't be due until May-June of next year.So after that I probably should wait until he's 10 months I guess before I take him and the Akita down there.

My Akita is so pleased with himself. He caught a wallaby two days ago. Now he wants to take it with him on walks. Bit slow when he's carrying it though.
